Hello everyone,

just need a opinion about which GPU to get for 4K running Windows 10. I am still having a hard time which one to go for.

Here is what I was think of my top three picks.

-Crossfire two R9 390X
-Spend little more and do crossfire Fury cards (not X)
-Spend little bit less and get 980ti.

-Still deciding i7 6700 which I can't see in Canadian $$ says on NCIX.com and newegg.ca coming soon) or i7 5820k. I most likely will go for 6700 which I am guessing it be cheaper than the i7 5820K.

PS. I have the Samsung 28ich UHD U28D590 4k monitor

Definitely the 6700K. The 5820K isn't really ideal for gaming; the six cores don't do you any good because games aren't optimized for more than four. The 6700K has better core-for-core performance. Only for graphics work, video editing, etc., is the 5820K worth it.

twin furies. Single cards really can't hack 4K at max settings right now. Though the AMD (unknown for Fury) cards look to be getting massive boost under DX12, but most games won't be using that until several years from now. You're really a first adopter for 4K stuff right now which means everything is overpriced and under performing compared to what you're paying. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/08/directx-12-tested-an-early-win-for-amd-and-disappointment-for-nvidia/

So buy two Furies for the Windows 10 4k gaming ultra setting, for the time being and then when the 2016 cards come out, sell the two cards and then get what I really want then. What is sounds like for me.

You're really going to take it in the shorts when you try to sell those cards. I suspect you will be lucky to get more than half your cash back.

Drop the resolution back on your monitor, be patient, and boogie with what yah got. Hopefully, the wait will be well worth it, or you can be the one picking up the Fury-Xs on the cheap.

Personally, I just don't think the technology is there yet for mass consumption. Super-expensive entry cost, even the best equipment has a tough time running it, probably not receiving a ton of mainstream support for another couple years ... at which time you'll be able to get a better setup for a quarter of the price you'd pay now.

I'd just stay away from it until then unless you've got a burning reason to do it now. Usually the reason is to show off, so it becomes a question of how much spare cash you're willing to burn in order to do that.
